Fix A Remote Door Lock For A Ford Van

Ford keyless remotes are used to control your door locks.


Ford vans are equipped with a number of simple and standard technologies featured on most vehicles from the manufacturer. One such technology is the keyless remote entry system, which can be programmed or synced from your driver's seat. If your remote has stopped working, you can repair the remote in just a few minutes and have the remote ready to use right away.


Instructions


1. Use a blade to open your remote, running it along the edges of the remote to loosen the case, then wedging the blade into one spot to pop it open.


2. Lift out the battery, and place a new battery in the same spot. Close the remote again, and enter your van with it and your ignition key.


3. Insert your key into the Ford's ignition, and turn the key to the "Run" position and back to "Off" eight times in quick succession.


4. Wait for the door locks to cycle after the eighth turn, then press and hold the "Lock" or "Unlock" buttons on your remote within 30 seconds. Hold the button for as long as 20 seconds until the locks click again to complete the fix and reprogram the remote.
